The sets considered are partially hyperbolic having a step skew product dynamics over a horseshoe with one-dimensional fibers corresponding to the central direction. The sets are genuinely non-hyperbolic containing intermingled horseshoes of different hyperbolic behavior (contracting and expanding center). We prove that for every $k\\ge 1$ there is a diffeomorphism $F$ with a transitive set $\\Lambda$ as above such that the pressure map $P(t)=P(t\\, \\varphi)$ of the potential $\\varphi= -\\log \\,\\lVert dF|_{E^c}\\rVert$ ($E^c$ the central direction) defined on $\\Lambda$ has $k$ rich phase transitions. This means that there are parameters $t_\\ell$, $\\ell=1,...,k$, where $P(t)$ is not differentiable and this lack of differentiability is due to the coexistence of two equilibrium states of $t_\\ell\\,\\varphi$ with positive entropy and different Birkhoff averages. Each phase transition is associated to a gap in the central Lyapunov spectrum of $F$ on $\\Lambda$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-03T23:35:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37D25", "37D35", "28D20", "28D99", "37D30", "37C29" ], "keywords": [ "abundant rich phase transitions", "non-hyperbolic containing intermingled horseshoes", "step skew product dynamics", "central direction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0951-7715/27/9/2255", "journal": "Nonlinearity", "year": 2014, "month": "Sep", "volume": 27, "number": 9, "pages": 2255 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014Nonli..27.2255D" } } }
